WASHINGTON, DC - Humorist and adult star Jupiter’s Slut is heading to Woodhull’s Sexual Freedom Summit this week to speak on the “More Than Sexy: Conundrums Faced by Feminists in Porn” panel. She will be joined by adult star and sexual health advocate jessica drake and adult star Jet Setting Jasmine.

“I am really looking forward to a discussion of porn and feminism at Woodhull,” said Jupiter’s Slut. “Porn is central to my identity as a feminist, producing porn has taught me a great deal about my sexuality. I’m entitled to my sexuality in ways I never would have been without producing porn, both in terms of safety and pleasure. For me personally, porn and feminism have been a potent combination, and I’m really looking forward to hearing about the experience of others. The more porn I produce, the stronger my feminist convictions have become.”

Co-panelist jessica drake added, “Being a porn performer, director, and producer comes complete with its own set of assigned stereotypes from society. I am also a feminist, educator, and activist. To some, those things cannot exist simultaneously, and I look forward to speaking on this panel and sharing my unique lived experiences.”

“Woodhull's Sexual Freedom Summit is an excellent and important outlet for dialogue and movement on the vast number of intersections that have an impact on feminism,” stated co-panelist Jet Setting Jasmine.

The panel, “More Than Sexy: Conundrums Faced by Feminists in Porn,” will be hosted on August 3rd from 9:00-10:30am in Plaza C at the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit in Washington, DC. The description reads:

How do you deal with sexism, when it’s your job to be sexy? How do feminists in porn deal with issues around propagating harmful stereotypes, unhealthy power dynamics, and body image? What do women in porn believe are their most effective tools for empowering themselves and others, and where are they still falling short? Hear personal narratives from different parts of the porn industry as they discuss their experiences of sexism and sexual liberation.

“It’s an honor to present at Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit,” explained Jupiter’s Slut. “This will be my third year at Woodhull, it’s an incredible community of people who are passionate about their freedom and their sexuality.”

ABOUT JUPITER’S SLUT

Jupiter’s Slut is a writer, humorist, and accidental porn star.

She prides herself on her fluency with the two scariest words in the American dialect: math and porn.

She is best known for a personal masturbation research project that turned her into an indie feminist porn producer. She fell in love with producing her unique brand of comedic porn and left her career as a middle school math teacher.

For the first thirty years of her life, Jupiter was math phobic and sexually repressed. Change in both areas of her life stemmed from stepping closer to her fears and pursuing joy. Through her work, she gives others the permission to play and the tools to revise their lives.

Sex Worker Rights Summit Pens ‘National Sex Worker Anti-Criminalization Principles’

LetUsSurvive-1073.jpg

LOS ANGELES, CA - Following unprecedented involvement during the International Whores’ Day actions that took place June 1-2 in numerous cities across the nation, a summit of sex workers, survivors, and advocates met late last month to discuss the next steps for the sex workers rights movement in the United States. The group published an important piece of educational information for sex workers and allies titled, National Sex Worker Anti-Criminalization Principles, now up at the APAC website.

LetUsSurvive-1062.jpg

“Sex workers must no longer be treated as though we are not an integral part of society,” said Siouxsie Q. James, Secretary of The Adult Performer Advocacy Committee. “We stand and fight in community with adjacent anti-criminalization movements that seek to rebuild our country and dismantle the ways in which we have policed and persecuted marginalized communities since our nation’s founding.”

The National Sex Worker Anti-Criminalization Principles outline a working template for the movement, advocating for people impacted by labor issues, social stigma, and criminalization. The movement condemns any attempts at restricting sex worker autonomy and self-determination.

“This document positions sex workers in a way that takes back our narratives, insisting that our voices are prioritized when it comes to policies that affect our lives,” said Cris Sardina, Director of the Desiree Alliance. Sardina runs a sex worker rights convention that chose to cancel its 2019 conference programming in light of the new laws that further criminalize the industry.

While the war on the sex industry has been raging for centuries in the United States, the catalyst for this latest wave of lobbying, litigation, media advocacy, and direct actions is a new anti-sex trafficking bill, commonly known as SESTA/FOSTA, which was signed into law in late March. Sex workers and their allies, along with trafficking survivors and advocates, have since been organizing and mobilizing to speak out about the law’s unintended, but ultimately harmful, consequences.

These communities, who are often pitted against one another in both politics and media, came together to respond to the disappearance of dozens of online resources that sex workers had once used to put valuable space, time, and scrutiny between themselves and their clients. Now unable to use the internet freely to advertise and screen, those who seek to exploit sex working individuals have more power than ever, forcing many workers to rely more heavily on potentially exploitative third parties, or turn to riskier options, including street-based sex work, where they are far more likely to experience violence from both predators and police.

LetUsSurvive-1009.jpg

“We hope that this serves as a starting point for lawmakers, journalists, advocates, and academics to better understand our community’s needs,” added Kristin DiAngelo, a sex trafficking survivor, sex worker, and the Executive Director of the Sacramento chapter of the Sex Worker Outreach Project.

Ceyenne Dorsohow founder of the Gays and Lesbians Living In a Transgender Society (G.L.I.T.S.) stated, “This was an intense drawing of emotions into a document that sets the precedent of what are now asking for and expecting of other leaders, society, and government.”

The National Sex Worker Anti-Criminalization Principles list four major points, including a general statement of purpose, recommendations for sex workers and allies, and rights of sex workers. The piece uses the 1983 Denver Principles as a template, which unequivocally declared and demanded the human rights of people living with HIV/AIDS, this document serves as a manifesto for how the sex working community will take back the narrative of exploitation and criminalization and reframe their struggle as a battle for basic human rights.

"It's a treat to get to talk with a mother and son sex-ed team! It’s crazy how families are born from sex, and yet we have such taboos we don't talk about sex.

We discussed how I told my teenage daughter about my porn work, about the religious suppression that led to my sexual suppression, and about herpes. I love to talk about herpes.
